Come experience the fun and excitement of learning about fungi/mushrooms. We have finally had some rain, so we thought we should start off the season with an educational smorgasbord. Bring mushrooms you have to be identified. We will have a microscope on hand for you to view the intricacies of mushrooms. It you don’t have mushrooms to bring, don’t worry, CMS Board members will be heading out to hopefully find a diversity of early season mushrooms to examine.

Have your mushrooms identified by CMS President Chris Melotti or CMS Foray Coordinator Matt Mathiason.

Peruse PNW Mushroom Identification books to see which one may be best for you. Or, thumb through other mycology books that CMS members treasure.

Ask Ron Patton how he home cultivates mushrooms and how he supercharges his vegetables and fruit trees by introducing mushrooms into his planting beds.

Learn about Medicinal mushrooms and how fungi is being used to create sustainable products.

View a selection of Sandy Patton’s clay mushroom models – those we cannot find right now.

There will be also be a kids activity area with fun and educational materials for toddlers to teens.
